Talenthouse

I am a photographer, writer, and filmmaker, Documentary work has been a large part of my life. I have traveled the back roads of much of the American West tiring to get the stories before they are all gone.

I am working on a few books, articles, and short film projects. I am always looking for new projects.

Location United States, California, Whittier

Bio I have always had a keen interest in the world around me. I bought my first camera at age 5 and so began the documentation. Darkroom work, started by age 12, I have spent a great deal of my life practicing the arcane arts of chemical photography. I converted to the \"Dark-side\" , digital photography in 2003.
In my travels across the United States, I recorded both the pristine country and the ephemeral works of Man. I believe the journey is the important part of life and sharing that journey is the most important point of life.
I have won both awards for film-work and photography. I have also been published in a few international periodicals over the years.

Influences I find many influences in my everyday life, many are unknown. Here are a few names of some of the more known. William Henry Jackson, Mathew Brady, Timothy O' Sullivan, O.Winston Link, Jeff Brouws, David Muench, Ansel Adams, Edward Curtis, Galen Rowell, Garry Winogrand, Irving Penn, Margaret Bourke White, Paul Strand, W. Eugene Smith, Richard Steinheimer, Alfred Hichcock, Ridley Scott, john Ford, Steven Spielberg, Joss Whedon, the Westons. and many others.
